JIMMY'S FUTURE.

Jimmy. "When I grow up I'm going to be a school-teacher."

Papa. "Why do you want to be a school-teacher?"

Jimmy. "'Cos you don't have to know the lessons yourself—you just have to hear them out of a book."


"Ha! ha!" laughed the fish, as it glanced at the bait
That hung so temptingly by;
"By your silence I see you're intended to be
Rather too pointed to try."
